The lead is pretty mono and could use some widening. Also pads are really loud in drop and feel almost out of control. Just keep mixing but this definitely could be something dope. As you probably know, the more reverb means the easier it is to muddy up a track.

The chord progression is top notch! Keep working. You definetly have potential!

digging the chiptune vibe, its getting me nostalgic about 2nd gen pokemon haha. also reminds me of early monstercat. Piano could use a touch of reverb I'd say. I also agree you could widen up the lead a bit. The groove in the drop sounds really mechanical when the drums start playing quicker like 1:05, mess with the velocities of some of the hits. I'm digging the dubsteppy wobbles and stuff between the chords. the one at 0:48 sounds a bit dull imo, maybe just raise the highs in your eq. This is cool though man, really liking the vibe behind this one!

I love this. Obviosly needs a lot of mixing work but there's some great stuff. I would love it even more if
- the second time the melody plays the last chords would be different (like VI-VII).
- the piano would sound more realistic (use multisampled piano, vary velocities)

@Arktopolis haha I agree about the piano, trying to convince the Guy I'm Collabing with on this to let me use the Giant as opposed to FL keys xP
